Automation brings many advantages to businesses, especially when it comes to risk, strenuousness, or a single operation. However, there is often a programming challenge that needs to be solved. How can we easily teach the KUKA robot helper what it needs to do? Manual bootstrapping: KUKA ready2_pilot solves this problem.
There are countless use cases in which robots are used in companies: welding, drilling, and bonding are just three representative tasks that machines can perform with agility, durability, and consistently high quality. But automation also means digitalization. After all, the use of robots in industrial enterprises rarely touches only the equipment itself. This also includes the robot's control system and software. For many companies, this is a serious challenge. According to a joint study by Bitkom and the Germany Crafts Federation (ZDH), the Germany Association for Information Industry, Telecommunications and New Media, 64% of companies surveyed are afraid to touch digital skills, while 81 percent of companies surveyed are willing to innovate.
Replace complex programming with manual bootstrapping
One of the first obstacles to the widespread use of robots is often the operational aspect. Potential users often turn away robotic solutions because they believe they must invest heavily in training and staff. The solution is called KUKA ready2_pilot. The solution is based on the principle of "simple programming" and is primarily aimed at companies that lack specialized robot programming experience.
The whole concept of "easy programming": manual booting with KUKA ready2_pilot.
Manual Guidance – Teach the robot by hand
To do this, the worker manually guides the robot along a workpiece with the help of a "commander", a 6D mouse, and "demonstrates" it to the action to be done. Movements are converted into commands through a wireless connection to the operating equipment, which can then be changed or compensated for at will. This allows you to grasp tasks with great agility and complete programming with a few clicks of your hand.
It's as simple as a hands-on operation: choose ready2_pilot to guide the industrial robot manually

Teach the robot manually as if you were doing it yourself
The "Commander" is a 6D mouse-like control head on the KUKA smartPAD that acts as an auxiliary tool to move in any direction and recognize forward and retreat commands. In just a few steps, the commander can be mounted on the robot, and the response is very responsive. This allows the process to be performed directly on the workpiece. The first advantage: Even inexperienced people can adapt to the robot with agility and "assign" tasks to it in this way, without the need for in-depth training or certifications. In addition, the command machine remains multifunctional. It can be reliably used on a wide range of robot models, resulting in a very short payback on investment.
ready2_pilot The central element: the manipulator that completes the manual guidance of the industrial robot.
With the help of our manual guidance system ready2_pilot, workers and robots can work hand in hand. Guiding the robot arm feels like welding, drilling, or bonding by hand. |
